Netherworld Chapter 109: Qinling Imperial Vein (1)
As he spoke, he activated the Du Sheng Mai method, and the plants around him quickly extended, like a giant moving hand that pulled us up, and we continued to move forward in the forest.
It was my first time to come into contact with the Du Sheng Mai method. It was so natural and exciting... It was like riding a roller coaster. The grass and trees around me grew wildly, like an automatic elevator carrying us forward. After we left, the wildly growing grass and trees turned into ashes, and the forest returned to its previous state.
This is a method of taking the essence of heaven and earth for one's own use. It is a minor technique, but it is undeniable that in terms of visual effect, it is much more powerful than the old method of shrinking the earth.
No matter how powerful an invisible man is, he is still invisible and will never be as powerful as Ultraman. Anyway, I have only heard children screaming: Look! It is Ultraman beating the monsters.
When it comes to invisible people, no matter young or old, male or female, most people's first reaction should be to cover their cheeks with both hands, shake their heads and howl at the top of their lungs: Ghost!
This kind of magic transmitted by plants and trees is already very fast. And there are upright branches in front to block the strong wind, which is still relatively humane. If Du Shengmai is willing to attract passengers, those passenger transportation companies, regardless of whether they are trains or cars, even if you are a plane, will collapse. Even if they don't collapse, they will be stupid...
To sum up the above, a question suddenly occurred to me: why does our motherland want to control practitioners and prevent them from contacting the secular world?
What a joke, these people learn magic, and they can make a lot of money. If they are allowed to participate, how can others make money? All the gold, silver, and copper coins will go into the pockets of pedestrians.
As I was thinking, my speed suddenly slowed down, and the green leaves in front of me gradually dispersed. Branches continued to extend downwards, sending me down from the sky. After landing, I looked at the paper strips that were withering and turning into ashes, and suddenly I felt a little unreal.
This is a small hill and there is a small forest not far from us.
After everyone stood still, the forest suddenly trembled like a reflection in the water. In the blink of an eye, the forest disappeared, revealing a simple thatched hut. The old woman, the little beauty, and the two elders of the only bloodline were sitting under the thatched hut .
I saw that one of them was Tao Tiansong's senior brother whom I had met before. He was very surprised to see me and the Taoist priest coming. He looked at the Taoist priest and then at Tao Tiansong.
The restraints on the little beauty had been removed, and the old Taoist frowned slightly and looked at Tao Tiansong. But the latter seemed to have not noticed at all, and walked over first while saying "please" to us.
The old woman stood up and looked at the Taoist priest and Tao Tiansong with some surprise, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
At this time, the beautiful girl raised her eyebrows and eyes, baring her teeth and claws and yelling: Master, why did you bring this old man again...
The old Taoist raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to draw a simple talisman, and pointed it at the beautiful girl: Imprison!
The little beauty's voice suddenly stopped, and her expression was frozen. I was standing by and almost burst out laughing.
Carry her away. The Taoist priest said to me, then turned and left. His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.
I ran over happily and smiled at the beautiful girl. Before she could speak, I bent down and lifted her up on my shoulders, said hello to the old woman, and turned away.
The old woman wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate and quite strange.
As for the middle-aged men from Dushengmai, Tao Tiansong didn't say a word. They just stared at me with their fists clenched, and could only let me carry the little beauty away.
As soon as she stepped out of the thatched hut and caught up with the old Taoist, the little beauty opened her mouth and screamed: Let me go! Let me go! Help! Master...
The scene in front of me changed rapidly, and my arms felt a little tight. I turned around and saw that the old Taoist had grabbed me without me noticing.
The shrinking technique is extremely magical, but its only flaw is that you can't speak. As soon as the little beauty said the word "master", the old Taoist took the two of us and took a step forward.
So when we stood still, she had just uttered the word "Bo".
When the word "Uncle" fell, the little beauty found that the scene in front of her was already unfamiliar. She was a little confused...
I laughed so hard that the little beauty came back to her senses. She glared at the old Taoist priest first, then glared at me, and cursed: You bastard...
The old Taoist took another step forward, and after landing again, the little beauty said one word: egg.
"Huh? Where are the eggs?" I looked at her in surprise.
The little beauty's face suddenly turned red. She glared at me angrily and said nothing more.
Seeing her shy and angry expression, I felt even happier.
The old Taoist took us for a walk, stopping and starting, and finally returned to the Five Elements Taoist Temple.
Put her down the mountain, the old Taoist priest ordered.
Huh? I'm a little surprised.
However, the old Taoist priest didn't explain much and went up the mountain on his own. I looked at his back and finally had to put the little beauty down.
It's not that I won't help you, but this mountain is too high. I'll be exhausted to death if I carry you up. You can rest here. I'll bring you some food later.
The beautiful girl didn't even look at me, she just snorted. I shrugged helplessly and followed her up the mountain.
It was late, and the mountain wind was blowing, making people shiver. I caught up with the old Taoist priest and couldn't help asking him: Do you really want to leave her there? If you continue like this, she will probably be hard to obey with her temper. Everyone is rebellious...
This is a disease and needs to be treated, the old Taoist priest replied, his tone filled with unshakable determination.
Now that the old Taoist has said so, what else can I say?
But then I thought of another question: Why are we coming back here?
The old Taoist paused for a moment, did not answer, but continued walking. His strange behavior made me feel a little uneasy, because I remembered the stone beast that Wei Qingcang gave him.
This old man, is he really going to split the stone beast? But I dare not ask this question, because the old Taoist's behavior shows that he is also in a dilemma.
I subconsciously looked back down the mountain, where a little beauty was standing. If there were any obstacles for the old Taoist to split the stone beast, the little beauty would undoubtedly be the biggest one.
When we got to the top of the mountain, the old Taoist suddenly stopped walking. I looked up and was surprised to find seven or eight people standing in front of the Taoist temple.
Who is that? I asked subconsciously.
The Taoist priest didn't answer, but walked forward. We walked one after the other across the empty platform, getting closer and closer to each other.
The old Taoist didn't say much, a blue light flashed between his palms, and a talisman was drawn in the blink of an eye. Judging from his posture, did he want to beat the man first and then ask questions?
This old man's temper is getting worse and worse...
At this time, several people from the other side also saw the Taoist's actions. One of them immediately bowed and shouted loudly: Please don't blame me, sir. It is impolite of us to come here uninvited.
The empty talisman in the old Taoist's palm kept flashing with a faint blue light. After the other party spoke, he was slightly startled, and then asked: Dongbalang?
I didn't expect that the master still remembered me after just one encounter. The other party laughed and came forward to greet me.
When he got closer, I felt that he looked very familiar. Thinking of what the old Taoist had just asked Dong Balang, I suddenly remembered that this was the man who beat Du Shengmai to a pulp and almost killed me in Liukong Mountain.
Dong Balang is from the Qinling Imperial Vein, and originally had a grudge with the Du Sheng Vein because of a stone beast. However, the stone beast was taken by the old Taoist forcefully, so I used the Tongming Jade to absorb the stone beast's essence, which gave me a great advantage.
Why is he here? Is it because of the stone beast?
The Qinling Mountain Technique that Dong Balang used at the time was extremely powerful. So many people from the Du Sheng Clan were beaten until they vomited blood and had no power to fight back. Even Tao Tiansong himself had to endure it.
Although the old Taoist had suppressed the virtual mountain with his own hands, the mountain was still there after all. If we really fought face to face, I dare not say that the old Taoist would win.
What are you doing here? The old Taoist priest dispersed the empty talisman and asked.
Dong Balang chuckled and said: One does not come to the temple for no reason. This time, of course, I come to ask the master some questions.
Looking at his expression, he seemed very kind. But I remembered that Dong Balang once told the old Taoist in Liukong Mountain that he would visit him one day. Because the old Taoist seemed to have deliberately delayed them so that the people of Du Sheng Cultivation could come and stop them.
Did they come here to ask for respect or did they really come here to ask questions? The Five Elements Pulse was born out of the Five Classics and is very knowledgeable. If they really want to ask questions, there is nothing wrong with that.
The master had seen the stone beast before, and the Five Elements Vein had an extraordinary origin, so he must know something about this, so...
I don’t understand. The old Taoist interrupted Dong Balang.
Dong Balang laughed and continued: I heard that my junior fellow apprentice disappeared more than 20 years ago, and it is suspected that he was related to the stone beast. This news...
Where did you hear that? The old Taoist interrupted him again, but this time, his tone was a little unusual. At the same time, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.
My heart skipped a beat. This old man, he wouldn't doubt that it was me who said it. But it's hard to explain this kind of thing, after all, I heard him talk about those past events.
It seems that the news is true. Dong Balang laughed and said: "Master, don't be suspicious. We learned about this matter from somewhere else. It has nothing to do . However, as the contemporary descendant of the Eight Ropes, he must also be carrying the Jade of the Underworld."
These words made me feel a little frightened.
The old Taoist looked at Dong Balan and asked: What do you mean?
Please rest assured, sir. The imperial bloodline only cares about its own affairs and does not make things difficult for the world. The Eight Ropes bloodline inherits the heaven and earth and penetrates the netherworld. We dare not disturb it. However, this matter has something to do with both of you.
The old Taoist priest just looked at people and didn't speak. Dong Balang continued: Thousands of years ago, there was a Heavenly Emperor in Qinling Mountains, who ruled the imperial bloodline and few people could match him.
Hearing this, the old Taoist hummed in dissatisfaction. Dong Balang laughed and continued: Later, the Emperor of Heaven disappeared, and the Emperor's veins were once again like a pile of loose sand. For so many years, we have been looking for the traces of the Emperor of Heaven, because we believe that he is still alive.
It's been two thousand years and he's still alive? That won't do... I interrupted, but halfway through I realized what I said was not nice and felt a little awkward.
Dong Balang laughed and said: Perhaps it is difficult for some people to agree with this, but according to ancient legends, there are immortals who can live as long as the heaven and the earth and are immortal.
